Organic poultry meat comes from chickens with access to an abundance of fresh air, daylight and outdoor space. These chickens are fed only organic feed that is adapted to this slow-growing breed.

The feed requirements for organic chickens are very strict. A minimum of 20% of the feed must be produced at the farm or in the region. The grains must be produced GMO-free and are subject to stringent requirements regarding pesticide and fertiliser use.

Is it worth it to get organic chicken?
The overall risk of many illnesses like heart related diseases and obesity is lower when comparing organic chicken to industrial chicken. Organic chicken is also almost half as likely to be carrying Salmonella, in comparison to conventionally industrial chicken meat.

Is there really a difference between organic and non organic chicken?

The main difference between organic and regular is the fat content of the skin; organic has between 5 to 13% less total fat depending on the cut, but once the skin is removed, the fat content of the meat is similar between the two types. Both types of chicken are naturally low in sodium as well.

Organic chicken and “genuinely” or “properly” free-range chickens are also much closer than you might think.

Confused? This is why you could be paying over the odds for low-quality chicken in pretty packaging.

Is organic chicken better?
To be classed as organic in the UK, chickens have to be grown to at least 70 days and given access to pasture to ensure they are growing more in line with what nature intended.

This lifestyle means the chickens contain less saturated fat and higher omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart.

Another important point is that mutilations of birds is prohibited. This includes beak trimming. In non-organic systems, this is often done to prevent chickens peck each other, which arises as a symptom of stress from overcrowding.

Plus, chickens in organic systems are only given antibiotics if absolutely necessary. Whereas in lower welfare systems they are given them regularly to prevent the spread of disease.
